Machine Learning is one of the most exciting fields in the world. Every week we discover something new, something amazing, something revolutionary. It's incredible, but it can also be overwhelming. That's why we created This Week in Machine Learning! Each week we publish a curated list of Machine Learning stories as a resource to help you keep pace with all these exciting developments.

Salience 6.2 also includes improvements in email processing, enabling systems to ingest email databases while stripping out headers and footers, eliminating duplicate emails, and analyzing email threads. Also included is improved named entity recognition, combining machine learning and known lists of people, places, and things. With these improvements, Lexalytics has increased its precision and recall scores, known as F1 scores, by up to 25 percent. The product has also been upgraded to better recognize people and place names from much of Asia, particularly China, Japan, and Korea. This follows Lexalytics's strong growth in that part of the world.

When we use our muscles, they produce heat as a byproduct. When we use them a lot, we need to actively cool them, which is why we sweat. By sweating, we pump water out of our bodies, and as that water evaporates, it cools us down. Robots, especially dynamic robots like humanoids that place near-constant high torque demands on their motors, generate enough heat that it regularly becomes a major constraint on their performance. One of the reasons that SCHAFT did so well at the DRC Trials, for example, was their fancy liquid-cooled motors that could put out lots of torque over an extended period of time without overheating.

Tesla's "Autopilot" feature (a driver assistance tool rather than something that truly lets the car drive itself) has come under fire in recent months. Earlier this year, a car using Autopilot was involved in a fatal accident, causing a host of investigations into the safety of Tesla's feature. Among the institutions concerned with the feature is the country of Germany -- last week, Germany's transportation ministry said the Model S Autopilot was a "considerable traffic hazard." Now, Reuters reports that the country is reaching out directly to Tesla drivers, asking them to use caution. The letter sent out reminds owners that Autopilot is strictly a driver assistance feature and still requires the driver's full, undivided attention.

Humans and robots have one thing in common – when they work hard, they overheat. Now, Japanese researchers have designed a robot that'sweats' in order to stay cool, allowing it do push-ups for 11 minutes straight without burning out its motors. Kengoro's skeletal structure is designed to let water seep through porous layers in its frame, which eventually evaporates to cool its 180 motors. Japanese researchers have designed a robot that'sweats' in order to cool down, allowing it do push-ups for 11 minutes straight without burning out its motors. Kengoro's skeleton, or metal frame, is made of aluminum and each'bone' was printed using a laser that sintered the powered metal The bones were designed with a porous layers that retain water.

Google is planning to release its own smartwatch to take on the Apple Watch soon, according to leaks. The company will make two of its own watches, according to new leaks. They're expected to be released at the beginning of 2017. The leak follows Google's launch of the Pixel and Pixel XL phones. Those are the first that Google made itself – and as such bake in an artificially intelligent assistant that isn't available to any other Android users.

Mark Zuckerberg says he's ready to voice the Jarvis artificial intelligence system (AI) he built to run his home. One apparently willing candidate stands out -- Iron Man himself. Jarvis, of course, is the AI character that assists Tony Stark's Iron Man in the mega-successful "Iron Man" film franchise based on the Marvel Comics character. Jarvis, which in Marvel's universe is an acronym for "just a rather very intelligent system," is a bit more human as the butler in "Marvel's The Avengers." In response to Zuckerberg's Facebook ask, Robert Downey, Jr., who plays Stark/Iron Man, says he'd do it, with a few altruistic conditions. English actor Paul Bettany voiced Jarvis.

Toyota Motor Corp. has long tried to pitch its vehicles as "irreplaceable companions." But in this age of artificial intelligence, the company is taking the man-machine relationship to a new level. Enter Toyota's newest companion: the palm-sized Kirobo Mini robot. The 4-inch-tall black-and-white talking cherub, complete with cutesy yellow eyes, red boots and a Toyota logo emblazoned on its chest, takes its name from the Japanese words for "hope" and "robot." Toyota plans to start selling the robot through dealerships in Japan next year for 39,800 ( 390).

Russian officials have unveiled a'microwave gun' that can disable an unmanned drone and even a missile from up to 0.6 miles (1km) away. The first sample of the weapons have been revealed following a secretive Russian Defense Ministry exhibition. The'death ray' will be used to target enemy drones and apparently deactivates the radios of UAVs and warheads, causing them to lose control. Russian officials have unveiled a'microwave gun' that can disable an unmanned drone and even a missile from up to 0.6 miles (1km) away. A Krasukha, a Russian electronic warfare system, is pictured.

Back in 1970, the social activist Irina Dunn scribbled a slogan on the back of a toilet cubicle door at the University of Sydney. It said: "A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle." The phrase went viral and eventually became a famous refrain for the growing feminist movement of the time. The phrase is also an example of sarcasm. The humor comes from the fact that a fish doesn't need a bicycle.
